HOLY CRAP these things stink!!!! this is exactly why i didnt want friggin cats at all.. i bought some magnaflow high flow cats to quiet my car down some because it was attracting to much cop attention, and it wasnt legal.. well now its legal but just smells like a rotten egg/sour cat sh*t mix.. its AWFULL!! how long does it take for that funk to wear off? how can i speed up the process?? just drive it?

Drive the damn thing. If you smell it, you are going to slow!! JK of course. If it continues to smell after a day of driving your tune is too rich. I have the Metallic version and don't have any exhaust smell.

im sure its running a little rich..im waiting for my NANO kit and my BAP to get here so i can install them and the car is going to get dyno tuned, so HOPEFULLY it wont be rich anymore and that smell will go away.. its HORRIBLE!! lol

I never had any smell when I had my magnaflow cats installed.

It only smells cuz his cats are on fire, relax, running on the rich side will do that even to stock cats. Metallic cats are the best way to go. Don't hafta worry about smell and they last longer.

The smell is due to preservatives burning off. My new magnaflow exhaust smells like shiatzu right now!

Um, if you smell the sulfer (rotten eggs) from new cats, then you are running way too rich, the cats aren't keeping up, and you're going to plug them in no time! Then you'll have to buy new ones again. Throwing any codes yet?

+1! I did that on my Lightning. And that's one reason I don't have it anymore.
